The U.S. House of Representative’s Energy and Commerce Committee approved the National Pain Care Policy Act of 2009 (H.R. 756). The legislation will now move to the full House for consideration and then travel to the U.S. Senate!
If signed, the National Pain Care Policy Act of 2009 would combat pain by authorizing a Pain Consortium at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to expand research on causes and treatments for pain; providing comprehensive pain care education and training for healthcare professionals; creating a national public awareness campaign on pain management; and by authorizing an Institute of Medicine conference on pain management.
The legislation is a reintroduction of H.R. 2994 from the 110th Congress, which passed in the House of Representatives in 2008. The U.S. Senate had little time to act on the bill before the end of the 110th Congressional session.
If interested, please contact your local congressman / congresswoman to support this very important bill.
